Private Secretaries.
London World.

An interesting and memorable passage in
"Endymion" records Lord Beaeonsield's estim-
ate of the relations that ought to subsst between
a Minister and his private secretary. In his
judgment they are the finest and most sacred by
which two persons of the be
united together; and he does not hesitate to
assert that, except the married state, there
is wherein a greater degree of confidence
and sympathy is involved than in that which
they necessitate and imply. 1t may be conceded
that on this subject Lord Beaconsield spoke
with an authority which was the result of
long, varied. and fortunate experience 1t is
probable that Minister ever under larger
obligations to his private secretaries, and it is
certain that no Minister has ever recognized the
fidelity of his private secretaries with
ample generosity. Lord Rowton. indeed, will
always be remembered the Benjamin of the
illustrlous Benz amin. with whose later fortunes
he conspicuousv connected, and par
excellence Lord Beaconsfelds private secretary.
But the domestic services which he rendered to
Lord Beaconsfield in his declining years should
not be permitted entirely TO obscure the far more
important political services which were rem
dered to Mr.. Dsraef by Mr. Earle during the
whole OF the most critical period Of his career
q Parliamentary leader.
